Tuesday afternoon .20 inches of rain was recorded in Wolf Point proper. By Wednesday morning another three-quarters of an inch had fallen.
Roosevelt County Extension Agent Don Hunter stated Tuesday that over an inch of rain had fallen in the Culbertson area on Monday. Hunter stated that the wheat crop is doing excellent and in the few areas which were short of moisture it is expected that this general rain will give the dry areas the impetus needed for a good
crop. Wheat stands, according to Hunter, are heavy throughout the county and prospects are very good.
According to the Montana Weekly Weather, Crop and Livestock Bulletin the outlook for mid-June to mid-July shows temperatures are exjrcwd to average cooler than se. ;oi.nl. Precipitation is expected to average heavy for the season except moderate in thei south portion of the Missouri headwaters.
If the heavy moisture continues and barring any unforeseen turns for the worse eastern Montana farmers are expected to harvest a record crop this year. After four years of drouth and spotty crops many have predicted that this will be th

The request period will and July 1 for those farms where winter wheat will be seeded this fall. Another application period will extend to March 1, 1961. for farms growing only spring wheat next year.
A "new farm", for purposes of requesting an allotment, is one which had no wheat acreage, including acreage considered as devoted to wheat production under the Conservation Reserve and Great Pliins programs, for either of the years 1958 or �959 and has none 'or 1960. Seeding and growing of wheat in any of these three years on a farm with no allotment or a "zero" allotment does not make the farm ineligible for a new farm allotment.
Applications must be in writing on a form which Is available at the C-iunty ASO office. Applicant! are urged to fill out the application carefully and completely since it provides the basis for determining eligibility pnd classification of the applicant. Operators who are farm-inc other land for which a wheat allotment is established are ineligible for a new farm allotment.

county agent issues warning on hoppers
Roosevelt County farmers are urged to check their fields and adjoining range land often and regularly for grasshopper infestation, according to Don Hunter. County Extension Agent. Much of the County docs not have hoppers. One severe infestation was noted between Culbertson and Brockton.
Harold Birkland and Raymond Ray from the Area Bureau Entomology Office checked a number of areas in the county during the past week for grasshopper infestation. Generally speaking, there was very little infestation over most of the County. They did find heavy or almost severe infestation of hoppers on range land in the area between Culbertson ind Brockton on both sides of Highway 2. This means, said Hunter, that there may be other irons in the county with similar nfestation. In the area between Culbertson and Brockton if the? rangeland becomes dry, hoppers will quickly move to grain fields. The most economical practical con A rnl then would be to immediately
firay the field and the most heav-y infested portion of the range ind next to fields.
Recommendations for control of �uppers on crop land are the same �s last year, two ounces of actual Meldren per acre is very effective hi small grains not to be cut for lay. In case control is needed on 'lay crops or range land, contact �our County Agent.
Birkland and Ray found the irea adjacent to the railroad northeast of Poplar to be free of hop-oers. They spot checked for a short distance west of Froid and eleven miles east of Froid also and found those areas to be free of infestation. The entomologists were in the county primarily to determine possible infestation of hoppers on Soil Bank lands. Only in one instance did they find Soil Bank land to be infested. They were in the county at the request of the local ASC committee.

of the result of the field inspec tion. If a farm is "within" its wheat
allotment or Soil Bank permitted acreage, only the wheat acreage figure is given. Notices to operators of farms where the wheat acreage exceeds the allotment or where the Soil Bank permitted acreage is exceeded will state the acreage which must be disposed of to bring the farm into eompiance. Permitted methods of disposal vary but nil e\e�'ss acreages of crops seeded last tall must be disposed of by July 11 if they are not to count against the wheat allotment or Conservation Reserve permitted acreaee.

Tuesday afternoon .20 inches of rain was recorded in Wolf Point proper. By Wednesday morning another three-quarters of an inch had fallen.
Roosevelt County Extension Agent Don Hunter stated Tuesday that over an inch of rain had fallen in the Culbertson area on Monday. Hunter stated that the wheat crop is doing excellent and in the few areas which were short of moisture it is expected that this general rain will give the dry areas the impetus needed for a good
crop. Wheat stands, according to Hunter, are heavy throughout the county and prospects are very good.
According to the Montana Weekly Weather, Crop and Livestock Bulletin the outlook for mid-June to mid-July shows temperatures are exjrcwd to average cooler than se. ;oi.nl. Precipitation is expected to average heavy for the season except moderate in thei south portion of the Missouri headwaters.
If the heavy moisture continues and barring any unforeseen turns for the worse eastern Montana farmers are expected to harvest a record crop this year. After four years of drouth and spotty crops many have predicted that this will be th

The request period will and July 1 for those farms where winter wheat will be seeded this fall. Another application period will extend to March 1, 1961. for farms growing only spring wheat next year.
A "new farm", for purposes of requesting an allotment, is one which had no wheat acreage, including acreage considered as devoted to wheat production under the Conservation Reserve and Great Pliins programs, for either of the years 1958 or �959 and has none 'or 1960. Seeding and growing of wheat in any of these three years on a farm with no allotment or a "zero" allotment does not make the farm ineligible for a new farm allotment.
Applications must be in writing on a form which Is available at the C-iunty ASO office. Applicant! are urged to fill out the application carefully and completely since it provides the basis for determining eligibility pnd classification of the applicant. Operators who are farm-inc other land for which a wheat allotment is established are ineligible for a new farm allotment.

county agent issues warning on hoppers
Roosevelt County farmers are urged to check their fields and adjoining range land often and regularly for grasshopper infestation, according to Don Hunter. County Extension Agent. Much of the County docs not have hoppers. One severe infestation was noted between Culbertson and Brockton.
Harold Birkland and Raymond Ray from the Area Bureau Entomology Office checked a number of areas in the county during the past week for grasshopper infestation. Generally speaking, there was very little infestation over most of the County. They did find heavy or almost severe infestation of hoppers on range land in the area between Culbertson ind Brockton on both sides of Highway 2. This means, said Hunter, that there may be other irons in the county with similar nfestation. In the area between Culbertson and Brockton if the? rangeland becomes dry, hoppers will quickly move to grain fields. The most economical practical con A rnl then would be to immediately
firay the field and the most heav-y infested portion of the range ind next to fields.
Recommendations for control of �uppers on crop land are the same �s last year, two ounces of actual Meldren per acre is very effective hi small grains not to be cut for lay. In case control is needed on 'lay crops or range land, contact �our County Agent.
Birkland and Ray found the irea adjacent to the railroad northeast of Poplar to be free of hop-oers. They spot checked for a short distance west of Froid and eleven miles east of Froid also and found those areas to be free of infestation. The entomologists were in the county primarily to determine possible infestation of hoppers on Soil Bank lands. Only in one instance did they find Soil Bank land to be infested. They were in the county at the request of the local ASC committee.
